28/67 Small things to be grateful for

One big laugh with Adam, 15, in the car on the way to school
One successful lecture to a group of beginner design students about image simplification and logo design 
One stimulating coaching session with a colleague
One invigorating walk with my dog-who -is-a -work -in- progress
One stimulating conversation over lunch with a new colleague

And 
One coup and 
One month long state of emergency in Egypt
Hundreds of demonstrators across the country dead

We spent a week there twenty years ago, on our honeymoon. The images on TV, on Aljazeera, so shocking, of the injured and dead in mosques, angry at the attacks on their liberty and the deposition of the democratically elected leader. And now with the slide into violent confrontation, even those who deposed Morsi are themselves conflicted by this terrible action by the army and police on behalf of the state. So so sad.
